INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole-Wheat Macaroni
1/2 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Egg Whites
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Whole-Wheat Bread Crumbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Cook the whole-wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente, then drain well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the nonfat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and egg whites until smooth and well combined.
Fold the drained macaroni into the creamy mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
Transfer the macaroni mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the top.
Evenly distribute the whole-wheat bread crumbs across the cheese layer to form a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
